  • Pick up your ride at Golfito Airport from popular providers like Alamo and National.

  • Always check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Golfito Airport car rental policy, whether with Alamo or any other supplier. Some may charge separately for it instead of including it in the base rental.

  • Look into booking a one-way rental. You might be able to pick up a bargain if the provider needs to relocate some of its vehicles. Find the best available rates for a car for rent in GLF by clicking 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Skip the sneaky refueling fees by booking a car rental in Golfito Airport with a 'Fair fuel policy.' Start your journey with a full tank and return it the same, and only pay for what you actually use.
